Do not take deeper cuts than the machine is capable of. When in doubt, take a greater number of lighter cuts.<br>

Make sure to set the spindle speed to something appropriate for the size of drill bit and material you are drilling. For example, if you're using a 4" hole saw, don't use 3000 RPM. (Don't use a 4" hole saw on this drill press. It is not powerful enough. Use the Craftex in the garagae.) Ensure the belt is tensioned properly to prevent slippage.

Remember to turn on the central-vac while using this machine. It makes a LOT of mess if you don't.

The drive belt is severely frayed and needs immediate replacement before heavy use. If you -really- need to use this drill press, make sure the belt cover is closed. Please consider using a different drill press.
